- Rosenbaum: "If you believe in a strict adherence to Sharia law, you simply do not belong in a Western country. Sorry, nothing personal… But if you believe in stonings, beheadings, dismemberments, lashings, if you don’t want your women to read, if you’re teaching kids to become martyrs to kill Jews, if that’s how you roll…you don’t belong."

- Discussion of universities’ bias against Israel, and need for "viewpoint diversity."
- Rosenbaum: "At an Ivy League school, you could not take not only one class that supports Israel. There isn’t one reading assignment in that class, not one. Now, how is that possible?" [34:28]
- Show closes with a reaffirmation of faith in eventual cultural victory and where to follow Rosenbaum's work.
